Sanchez Flores wants to sign an experienced forward who can help alleviate some of the pressure on his star strikers Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney, who have a combined 20 Premier League goals already this season. But he will only bring in Adebayor, who is keen on a move to a club in or near to London, if he accepts that he will not be able to play in every match.

Asked if they were no longer interested in the player, Sanchez Flores replied: 'It is not true. We have talked about the name of Adebayor for a loan but until the last moment the decision is not yet taken. We didn't take the decision because until the last moment we try to be right that the player is the player we need.

'Not just the player but the characteristics of the player, because he is an amazing player, but the characteristics of Adebayor, is it necessary for the team?

'We need to check everything because we don't want players who expect to play every single day, every single match. We can't give that kind of circumstances to the players — I don't know if it is possible to find a resolution in the next few days.'
